You Need To Change This Line TO The Path To You Directory

pushd "c:\pictures"

[sorrow]

Yeah, I've been changing it to the respective directory.. here is the output:

C:\Documents and Settings\insanity.FIDO\Desktop\Temp Music\Rage Against The Machine\Evil Empire\ZuneAlbumArt.jpg copy 
"C:\Documents and Settings\insanity.FIDO\Desktop\Temp Music\Rage Against The Machine\Evil Empire\ZuneAlbumArt.jpg" 
"C:\Documents and Settings\insanity.FIDO\Desktop\Temp Music\Rage Against The Machine\Evil Empire\folder.jpg"
Press any key to continue . . .

The "Copy" Should Begin From The Second Line .. ?

Try This

Change The Path To Your Directory
It Is In Debug Mode ... Remove Echo From Last Line To Actually Make It Copy The Files

@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir c:\pictures\*.jpg /b /s /-c /a:-d-s-h') do (
call :PROCESS "%%a")
endlocal
goto :EOF
:PROCESS
setlocal
set dr=%~d1& set pth=%~p1& set base=%~n1& set ext=%~x1
echo copy "%dr%%pth%%base%%ext%" "%dr%%pth%folder.jpg"

Ok, now I'm really perplexed -- when I double click on the bat file, nothing happens. Then when I navigate to the file in the command line and try to execute it, it tells me that "The system cannot find the path specified." Even if I manually navigated to the folder & am sure that the file is in that folder..?

Edit - that is with and without echo on, and I even tried moving & renaming the file with no more luck and I have changed the c:\pictures to the appropriate directory.

Are The *.jpg Files Hidden ?

[sorrow]

I believe that they are considered system files -- so yes

Made To Look At System And Hidden Files

@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir c:\pictures\*.jpg /b /s /-c /a:-d') do (
call :PROCESS "%%a")
endlocal
goto :EOF
:PROCESS
setlocal
set dr=%~d1& set pth=%~p1& set base=%~n1& set ext=%~x1
echo copy "%dr%%pth%%base%%ext%" "%dr%%pth%folder.jpg"

I get the feeling that a specific command may be throwing it off because I'm still running into the "System cannot find the path specified." error. I've tried tweaking the directory a bit & moving things around but still no luck..

Thanks for sticking with this so long!

What about trying a potentially simpler direct command with something like,

for /R %d in (.) do copy %nxI d\z*.jpg %d\Folder.jpg

and telling it to look at the system files there?

Bump?
